Watsons shoppers pick their best beauty products

 

Before I started to Blog, I remembered searching online for TOP Favorites from E-commerce sites and read reviews from various Bloggers!  That helped me so much in purchasing products that work.

A mask-proof lipstick, a tried-and-tested beauty soap and a body lotion with vitamins are some of the beauty products chosen by Watsons shoppers as their Most Loved for 2021.

Best Shampoo: Head & Shoulders Cool Menthol Anti Dandruff Shampoo

What's not to like about this shampoo? It cleans hair gently with a menthol fresh feeling and leaves it moisturized.  This is my husband’s ultimate favorite and I have been purchasing and repurchasing this for years!  As of the moment, I have back up bottles of around 10!

A Beauty Tete-a-Tete with Kojie San

I am one of the very few who gets allergic to the term "whitening".  Whenever I see skincare products with "whitening" on it, I tend to push it away.  

All thanks to years of Blogging, I get to learn the difference of whitening and lightening.  And how I should really understand something before judging. #judgmentalAKO 

So what is the difference of Whitening and Lightening?

Whitening is the process of changing the skin tone through harsh chemicals, which in return, can irritate or damage skin.  And that is the main reason why I am so scared to try whitening products because I have very sensitive skin.

Lightening, on the other hand, is a more gentle process in bringing back the skin's original state prior to sun damage or discoloration.  

Kojie San products falls on to the "Lightening" category, no wonder I have used up 2 of their soaps and felt it didn't do any damaging effects on my skin.  Instead, it made my skin tone more even and brighter.

Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap Review

I posted about Kojie San Lightening Range last month and I got a few more queries on how "effective" the product is.  So for the love of AMW readers, I gave the No. 1 Kojic Acid Soap a try for almost a month and I'm ready to share my experience.

 

It was a timing when I recently had allergies on my arm and I was left with dark spots that doesn't seem to go away (as of speaking, it has already been there for 1 month and I haven't used any medication)!  It was embarrassing on my part since 90% of my job, I get to meet with people.  Sadly, most of the time, I tend to see their eyes wander on my arm and probably wonder if what I have on my arm is infectious or not.  So,  I always choose to wear long-sleeved tops or dresses just to "cover up".  Unfortunately, the weather gets hotter by the day and wearing long-sleeved outfit isn't practical anymore.  I knew I had to do something!

It was great timing that a lot of my readers emailed me and asked about Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap.  I knew it will be difficult for me to share how "it can effectively whiten my skin" since my skin is quite fair to begin with!  So what I did was, I used the soap like regular soap whenever I shower and take a bit more time to leave the product on my dark spots caused by food allergies.  (Note:  If you have skin allergies, please do a patch test first!) 

Kojie San Lightening Range

I've always shy away from whitening products, I mean, you would probably agree with me at this very moment.  But, after 3 years of being a mom spending more than half of those 3 years staying on the floor down on my hands and knees, I'm starting to realize 2 things ---

1. I'm a great toddler play partner and...
2. Staying down on the floor can darken my elbows and knees!

So as much as I don't want to admit it, I'm starting to see dark spots on parts of my body and knew I had to do something before it's too late!   

Thankfully, as a Beauty Blogger, I get exposed to different brands of skincare products.  One lightening range that I recently get to know of is a brand called Kojie San.  Kojie San is known for their Kojic Acid Soap, I have tried the soap in the past and remembered being surprised on how it effectively lighten my skin.

Fast forward to today, the brand (that was born 2007) has expanded their Lightening Range.
